Let it Ride is a very simple variation of the standard five-card poker game. It has become a popular feature of many online casinos. The game is very similar to Blackjack except instead of one space in front of each player to designate a bet there are three. These three areas are marked in the center with the number 1, 2 and a dollar symbol ($).

The goal of this game is to draw a hand that is high enough to qualify for one of the payouts. The payout schedule for this game is usually written on the felt in front of each player in a real casino game and somewhere on the site template in an online game. The game has a range from 1-1 for a high pair, to 1000-1 for the royal flush. Typically the lowest hand that will qualify as a winner is a pair of tens, which pays the lowest amount, 1-1. If you are playing online sometimes these numbers vary from casino to casino.

The object of Let it Ride is to draw a hand containing a minimum of a pair of tens by using your initial three cards plus the two community cards (the dealer’s cards.)  You are never actually playing against any other player at the table or against the online casino dealer. Unlike other online casino games, there is no exchange of cards. Your total consists solely of your three cards plus the dealer’s two. You do not draw any other cards. Your only objective is to have one of the winning hands listed below.

The payout schedule is usually -

Royal Flush pays 1000-1

Straight Flush pays 200-1

Four of a Kind pays 50-1

Full House pays 11-1

Flush pays 8-1

Straight pays 5-1

Three of a Kind pays3-1

Two Pair pays 2-1

Pair of 10’s or Better pays 1-1

In an online casino game of Let It Ride, the virtual dealer shuffles a 52-card deck and deals each player three cards. Two community cards are also dealt to the dealer. Each player can use these community cards to make a standard five card Poker hand. Play begins after each participant places the minimum wager in each of the three betting circles. Most online casinos have the minimum bet for this game of about  $5, so the total bet on any single hand will be $15. Players are given the option as the game proceeds to remove up to two of those three bets.

In addition to the standard three betting circles, many uk online casinos offer a $1 bonus game. This is an optional bet that may be placed before the beginning of the game that pays extra for a specified hand.

While the above payout schedule is typical of most casinos some online casinos might only pay out a 500-1 on a Royal Flush. Avoid these types of tables, as they are an indication that more of a natural edge in terms of odds will be given to the house.
